Walk out into velvet
Nothing more to say
You're my favorite moment
You're my Saturday

'Cause you're my number one
I'm like a dog to get you
I want it up and on
I'm like a dog to get you

Sunset only seconds
Just ripe then it's gone
Got no new intentions
Just right then it's gone

'Cause you're my number one
I'm like a dog to get you
I want it up and on
I'm like a dog to get you

I'll be there to meet you
Getting down to greet you
Howl under the moon
